This seems like a really interesting startup I would love it if you could keep us updated

 

Whenever I see these projects, I give them at most 3 or 4 months. Nowadays, unless you are someone popular, it's really hard to be an influencer, especially if you don't have a professional team and you are a single man army. I've been there, trust me, it's a waste of time. I don't want to be rude, but there are well known people in the finance industry who don't have any audience, why should other people chose your website over businessinsider.com, for example?

I repeat, I don't want to be rude, but you already aren't focused on something specific. "General news, business news, entertainment and general tips". There are thousands of projects who think they're going to score big but fail. IMHO, it's better to focus on something really specific and only after the people start trusting you, you should scale your website up.

 

IMO it would be really hard to com-peat with the older, established giants.

 

I'm not going to be the one to say it's impossible. I'm not even thinking that. I know you said you are part of a team and you guys must have done some research and have a solid strategic plan already. That being said, it seems you have a market you're targeting (just like you said). Do you know how to reach that market better than current 'tabloids'? You have to get their attention and FB and twitter won't cut it. I'm happy to follow your progress and would love to subscribe to your content.

 

I can provide help with instagram if you need it

 

All this is good how much of this news is personalized to an end user on day 1 ?

Good luck and keep fighting the opinions here.

I don't think that he has to fight the opinions, because we don't want him to fail, but rather we show him that problems he'll have to battle with. There are thousands of projects like this and most of them are doomed to fail or have already failed.

But it seems that OP has experience and knows what he's doing. If he's commited to delivering quality content to the end user, then yes, his project might have a chance.

 

@111kg Ok.

 

I've done something like this before. I've had sites in major news syndication and some serious volume of traffic.

The techniques are a little elaborate to post here in a short post but perhaps I will write a post on my blog about it, or feel free to PM me with any specific questions about growing large websites.

 

Wow, this is a pretty interesting idea. Well, best of luck with you about that. Just try to be consistent with your work, do a lot of internet marketing, and post relevant, interesting, and credible content.

 

Hello, how's this business? Can you give me an update, I think I'd like to start one as well.
